Summary

Tobias Elementary in Kyle, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 736 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, where about half of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown impressive resilience, climbing from a historic low in the 15th percentile statewide in 2016-2017 to its current 54th percentile ranking (3 stars) in 2025-2026, marking a strong upward trend after a recent dip.

One of the most notable features of Tobias is its exceptional support for specific student groups. The school ranks in the 73rd percentile for Special Education students and the 77th percentile for Gifted and Talented students—both 4-star ratings that are rare to find together. However, there is a significant gender gap: female students perform at the 61st percentile, while male students lag at the 44th percentile. This contrasts sharply with nearby Kyle Elementary (just 1.56 miles away), where boys outperform girls. Tobias also struggles with its English Language Learner population, which dropped to the 12th percentile in 2025-2026, a steep decline from the 46th percentile two years prior.

In math, a curious pattern emerges: 3rd graders consistently outperform district and state averages, while 4th graders fall significantly behind—a 15.69 percentage point drop in proficiency in 2025-2026. This suggests a possible curriculum or instructional challenge between these grade levels. When comparing schools, Science Hall Elementary (3.07 miles away) ranks much lower overall (21st percentile) and has the weakest 5th-grade science scores in the area, despite its name. For parents, Tobias offers strong programs for students with special needs or gifted talents, but may require extra attention for boys, English learners, and students transitioning to 4th grade math.
